L. Frank Baum was an American author who created the Land of Oz in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' (1900) and fourteen subsequent Oz novels, producing one of American literature's most enduring fantasy worlds.
Baum's Princess Ozma lent her name to the 'Ozma Problem' as framed by Martin Gardner — the question of absolute spatial orientation, which feeds into Nolan's exploration of disorientation and inverted space in 'Inception' and 'Tenet'.
